Triple threat: Alaskan454 – pinnacle high performance

I've looked at TK Custom myself. It's nice that you can just send the cylinder in. TK Customs must be a legitimate service, too, as they are S&W's standard for moonclips. It's very tempting for .454's or even .460's. It really makes me want to buy a magnum revolver as my next gun.
 
I was visiting Gander Mountain yesterday (believe it or not for the first time since they opened last fall) in my area. Handled the Alaskan in 44 mag to refresh my memory. That is a big hunk of iron! I still lust for one in 480 Ruger, but have absolutely no need or use for it. It would be one of those revolvers that probably gets shot twice a year unless for some reason I saw a future need. In which case, I would practice and get a bit more comfortable with the beast.
 
Nice revolver, very versatile.

It appears that only the central area of the cylinder was cut to allow the moon clips to seat without affecting the outer ring, upon which the standard rimmed revolver rounds sit. Did I get that right?

Are there any concerns at all about the small unsupported area for each rimmed cartridge where the void is for the moon clips?
